About Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Varanasi

Historic Shiva temple on the Ganga riverbank

  • Kashi Vishwanath Temple stands dedicated to Shiva in the narrow lanes of Vishwanath Gali.
  • Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore rebuilt the current temple structure in 1780 after earlier shrines on the site were demolished over centuries.
  • Inside the sanctum, devotees queue to see the Vishweshwara Jyotirlinga, framed by an 800-kilogram gold-plated spire donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1835.
  • The newly built corridor links the temple complex directly to the riverbank at Lalita Ghat, providing broad stone walkways and basic visitor amenities.
  • Visit between October and March to avoid peak summer heat.
  • The temple opens daily around 3:00 AM for the Mangala Aarti and closes near 11:00 PM after the Shayan Aarti.
  • General entry is free, though special ritual passes require advance booking through the temple trust portal.
